Networking

A longtime staple of our conference, the networking sessions are your chance to share ideas with your colleagues. There are plenty of networking opportunities:

Welcome Reception (Sunday). Start the conference by meeting your fellow attendees.

Roundtable Discussion Sessions (Monday). Participate in a free-wheeling discussion of your chosen topic and hear the successes, challenges, and questions of other attendees. Not interested in sharing?—watch the CI-related video.

Group Breakfast and Lunch (Monday).  Grab some food and start talking.

Dine-Around (Monday). Sign up for one of 13 restaurants on Monday night and keep the conversation going late. Learn More.

Roundtable Discussion Sessions (Tuesday). Pick a different topic on Tuesday to learn from others and share your experiences. Or opt out and watch another educational video.

Group Breakfast (Tuesday).  The networking opportunities are adding up—make more valuable contacts from across the industry.

Gala Reception at Dallas World Aquarium (Tuesday). An evening of education and fun as your tour the Orinoco Rainforest, see the animals, and socialize with attendees in a unique location. Eat and drink as the crocodiles stare.

Plant Tours (Wednesday). The bus ride to/from the tour is a perfect opportunity for networking!

Maintaining Contacts after the Conference. The networking doesn’t have to stop because the conference does. Your handbook will have complete contact information for everyone in attendance.
